We have published a great many photographs, at different times, of
strange and beautiful effects wrought by frost, but the annexed is so
striking and peculiar that we have no hesitation in adding it to the
number. In the words of the sender: "My photograph is of an enormous
icicle, or one might call it a land iceberg on a small scale. The ice
was formed during a recent frost by the overflow of a spring which runs
from a pipe about eighteen feet from the ground into the branches of a
tree. In the full sunlight it was a very pretty and novel sight."--Mr.
